We were able to track the AMERICAN QUEEN's progress between New Orleans and Baton Rouge via the AIS site, but now she seems so much closer to 'home' - she's in the Corps lock system reports on the Ohio River. She locked through Smithland at 2:10 this afternoon. What a pleasant thought on a cold rainy Sunday on the UMR! Here's the Corps new website, thanks to Bill Steinike:

Thanks Judy. I just made it one of my favorites. Just an update I had a call from a steamboater on board today, who said they were having a grand time and that more old crew and staff were coming back all the time. One Darryl Reed was picked up in Memphis. Yeah!!!

She locked through Newburg late last night, should be somewhere just above Owensboro about now, unless she planned to stop there. I'm getting anxious to welcome her into Louisville, the Belle of Cincinnati is already here.
